Are there Aluminum power cords?

Hello to everybody once again !
A couple days ago there was this discussion regarding aluminum wire. There were a few people who didn't realize that in fact there is aluminum wire out there. I stated that I would take a photo of some aluminum wire that we just recovered on a salvage yard site that we are currently on.



I don’t want to be redundant, however I always keep my word and do what I say I'm going to do. That being said, here is the photo I took on Sunday.

Truly,
Scott

You have the rubber coating, and then a smaller rubber coating, then copper, or you have this:

Rubber coating, thin piece of steel, rubber coating, and then copper.

The ones with steel, no yard I have been too will take it, but depending on quantity I will either strip it, or just throw it away with steel.
